कर साहस
क्यूँ रुकी है तू
क्यूँ झुकी है तू
अब थाम के उंगली मेरी
उठ जा ज़रा गुड़िया मेरी
मैं हूँ संग तेरे संगिनी
कर साहस, अब हुंकार ले
अपनी शक्ति को स्वीकार ले
समाज नहीं है ये है डर तेरा
तुझे रखे निर्बल यह पिंजरा
तेरे प्रतिभा तेरे पंख हैं
अब उड़ जा, छू ले आसमाँ
अब तोड़ दे सब बेड़ियाँ
तू द्रौपदी भी, और खुद कृष्ण भी
तेरा साहस ही तेरा वस्त्र है
तेरी प्रतिभा ही तेरा अस्त्र है
अबला है, है वो नारी बेचारी
यह सब झूठ है, अपवाद है
सबल है तू , सशक्त भी
तेरे संग संगिनी संवाद है
अब क्यूँ रुकी है तू, क्यूँ झुकी है तू
उठ जा ज़रा गुड़िया मेरी
में हूँ संग तेरे संगिनी
अब जोश भर, हुंकार ले
अपनी शक्ति को स्वीकार ले
खुल कर हंस, अब बढ़ ज़रा
कर साहस, छू ले अपना आसमाँ
